We are currently not planning to implement this feature and will continue to prevent all Box Drive results from appearing in Explorer/Finder searches.
Box Drive does not download the all of the metadata (File name, folder structure, etc.) of your Box content. Instead, it is downloaded on demand and then evicted when it is no longer relevant. This eviction process is not visible to users and it is not easily predictable. This would cause the search results in Explorer/Finder to be inconsistent for users – sometimes they would find a file and other times they may not if the metadata and file were evicted.
We have chosen not to download all of the metadata (and then keep it up to date with changes) as this can result in a large performance, storage and bandwidth tax which is not scalable – especially in environments where users interface with millions of files/folders.

Can you at least allow local (spotlight/windows search) searching for files & folders marked for Offline use?
Files marked Offline should work like sync files and actually be present in the filesystem not just in some encrypted cache. Having actual files would solve a bunch of other problems as well (like not being able to redirect Windows profile folders up to Box ).

Even better might be to automatically translate prohibited characters into legal characters for the local filesystem. BoxDrive on Mac could translate the colon character into a hyphen before presenting it to the file system while keeping the illegal character on the web-side, for instance.

Box Drive needs to be run in order to access any of the content or features of the product.

It would be nice if Windows .lnk file (and Mac alias files) could actually be synced in the Box web client as Box bookmark files lined to files the link is pointing to (and vice versa). Probably difficult to implement, but this would be the ideal and allow for much better file storage management.
